I’ve written about a few of them before, including minimalistic programs like Writerroom. One program that I’m trying to get a handle on is Scrivener, which is a big favorite among the participants of NaNoWriMo.

I’m basically personally searching for a program that is very intuitive and very minimal, yet is also visual and has the ability to handle research in multiple subjects. I’m told that Scrivener can do that, but so far it’s something I realize I’ll have to learn a lot more about it to gain the functionality required to use it regularly.
